The application of temporary cardiac pacemaker in acute inferior wall myocardial infarction patients with sinus rhythm treated by emergency percutaneous coronary intervention
Abstract：Objective This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of preventive cardiac pacing in acute inferior wall myocardial infarction patients with sinus rhythm treated by emergency percutaneous coronary intervention ( PCI ) .Methods In all the 121 patients with acute inferior wall myocardial infarction and sinus rhythm who underwent successful emergency PCI and were given temporary cardiac pacemaker before PCI , 76 patients underwent cardiac pacing and were taken as preventive temporary cardiac pacing group , while 45 patients did not undergo cardiac pacing and were taken as the non cardiac pacing group .We observed the patients for general clinical manifestations , coronary artery pathological features and HR before PCI reperfusion and after atropine used , BP before and after the reperfusion , the occurrence of malignant ventricular arrhythmia .Results SBP and DBP after reperfusion in cardiac pacing group was significantly lower than those before reperfusion in the same group (P<0.0001) and those in non cardiac pacing group .The occurrence rates of malignant ventricular arrhythmia after reperfusion did not show any significant differences between these groups (P>0.05).The percentage of dominant right coronary artery in non -cardiac pacing group was significantly lower than those in cardiac pacing group (P=0.0049).Both of the occurrence rates of reverse blood flow perfusion and the degree of increased heart rate after atropine used in the non -cardiac pacing group were higher than those in cardiac pacing group ( P <0.0001 ).Conclusion The temporary cardiac pacing has no preventive effect on hypotension and malignant ventricular arrhythmia after reperfusion in acute inferior wall myocardial infarction patients with sinus rhythm , however, temporary cardiac pacing could protect acuteinferior wall myocardial infarction patients from bradyarrhythmia during PCI , especially be applicable to the patients with non -reverse perfusion and poor response to atropine .
